    Summary

    “Would that you had hatched a whole bug, you would have been an excellent heir. Dutiful, loyal, strong. Hallownest is blessed for your presence and sacrifice.” The Pale King pauses. His voice remains steady and calm. “I grieve the circumstances of your hatching, but not your existence. You have brought me nothing but pride and will do a great service for your kingdom.”

    On the day of the vessel's sealing, it receives an unexpected kindness from its King.

    Summary

    Lace's rebellion against her mother fails. When Hornet is abducted from Hallownest, there is nothing to disrupt her bindings long enough to allow her to break free of the Envoy's clutches. She finds herself imprisoned alongside a dirty, frayed thing that tells her it can help her take vengeance... if only she helps it escape the Cradle first.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the collapse, Pharloom lies in ruin. It's up to Hornet to lay steady foundations upon which the remaining survivors may prosper. Such a task might prove impossible, however, as danger looms from every side. Her growing attachment to a certain silken being brings nothing but worry as well.

    Lace finds herself betrayed by her own mind, as haunting memories threaten to tear down her crumbling mask, revealing insecurities beneath. Newly freed, she struggles to figure out her purpose and the meaning of self amidst the ruins of the life she's lost.

    It's up to the two bugs to weave a new destiny for themselves, even when everything threatens to collapse around them once again.

    Summary

    Something is very wrong in Hallownest.

    The Hollow Knight wakes up outside the Temple of the Black Egg. Hornet feels a shift in the kingdom from all the way in Greenpath. Together, the two of them discover the sacrifices each has made—and the grief neither one of them was allowed to feel.

    Hollow survives the Hollow Knight ending, though severely wounded and close to death. Against her better judgement, Hornet takes them under her care. Along the way, Hollow begins to acknowledge their emotions, and Hornet slowly discovers she's been lied to about the true nature of Vessels.

    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.
